The Heavenly Punishment day (天刑) — ecliptic star of the Chinese almanac
The twelve ecliptic spirits (黄黑道) of classical Chinese day selection — six Yellow Path blessings and six Black Path cautions.
天刑 tiānxíng · Heavenly Punishment
Heavenly Punishment (Tiānxíng) is a spirit of the Black Path, governing punishment and penalty. Its days disfavor litigation, appearing before officials, and taking office — classical sources read them as prone to disputes with authority. The old approved uses (apprehension, penal matters) are obsolete today.
Modern use: stay out of conflicts and confrontations on such a day — no lawsuits, no heated arguments, no signing contentious documents — and exercise added care with machinery and sharp tools.
